Though I was responsible for setting the strategy, making sure the players were mentally ready, putting the players on the field that woudl put the team in the best position to win, and then pulling a player who was not performing and/or making game time adjustments with a key sub, it was their fault...Coach Kreis.  Not a great coach, though he has the making of a great bus driver.

I thought Yueill was good and tried to will this team forward.  Herrera also worked his tail-off and was very dangerous.  Lewis had to put that ball in the net with a simple redirect instead of prestezling is legs trying to get his preferred foot on the ball.  Ochoa's blunder was bad, but overall he had a solid tournament.  Most of the rest of the team was forgettable and that is why they are not going to the Olympics again.  Most concerning is that the lack Olympic (development) experience foreshadowed the (very) senior USMNT team missing the Cup in 2018.
